What we're looking for
- You see opportunity in ambiguity and building things that scale.
- You experiment, learn quickly, and iterate openly, unafraid to make, and revise, bets.
- You enjoy creating playbooks as much as running them.
- You appreciate that each customer is unique, yet you build frameworks that scale across them.
- You use AI in your work today as part of how you operate at a high level, with workflows you've built and impact on quality, efficiency, and experience.
- You're a strategic, customer-centric problem solver.
- You're relentlessly focused on the outcome and willing to learn new approaches or challenge the status quo to deliver value for enterprise customers.
- 5+ years in SaaS (customer success, consulting, solutions, enterprise product or similar process and system strategy roles).
- You have thoughts on how modern businesses should operate, including where inefficiencies hide and how automation + AI unlock leverage.
- You can operate across audiences, from executive sponsors to execution teams running sprint-style projects.
- You're skilled at discovering what customers actually need (not just what they say).
- You communicate automation value in terms of ROI, efficiency, scalability, and risk reduction.
- You think in systems, logic, and orchestration frameworks, but don't get bogged down in technical details.
- You own the outcome, project managing stakeholders internally (TAM, product, support) and externally (customer execution teams, Line of Business Leaders) to deliver realized, quantifiable value.
- You communicate strategy and insights with clarity, empathy, and precision.
- You know when to use async vs. live to balance ideal outcomes and speed, employing Slack, email, workshops, executive briefings, texts, and standups.
- You leverage automation and AI yourself to execute with clarity, speed, and alignment.
- You interpret usage patterns, account signals, and customer behavior to inform strategy.
- You collaborate with data science and RevOps to shape MVP to mature data products and workflows.
- You combine early data signals with strong first principles thinking to make decisions and evaluate progress.
- You lead customer engagements with clarity, dependability, approachable expertise, focusing on delivering meaningful value.
- Internally you exercise good judgement and demonstrate our values of collaboration with purpose, accountability, recognition.
